3'Oii may return." This voyage to Maui was the commencemeut of the exodus of the 

 people from Kohala and they became children of the soil of Mani, even to this day. 



Kepakailiula then turned to Kukuipahu and said: "Behold the land and everj-- 

 thing in it. From the mountains to the sea it is yours. You shall be its king, only 

 reserving to myself the rights due a conqueror." Kukuipahu thus became the king of 

 the whole of Maui. 



The tidings of this great victor}' of Kepakailiula were carried to Oahn, and when 

 Kakuihewa the king heard of it, he became afraid, because Kakaalaneo the most skillful 

 spearsman, the king greatly feared by him, had been killed by this man. Kakuhihewa 

 therefore took the name of Kepakailiula ' and made him his son and told his immediate 

 attendants: "Go and bring my son to Oahu that he may enter into his land." Upon the 

 arrival of the canoes at Maui and landed at Kapueokahi, Hana, the messenger asked: 

 "Where is the chief Kepakailiula?" "In those long large houses."' When the mes- 

 sengers arrived at the houses indicated they again asked for the chief, Kepakailiula 

 answered: "I am he." The messengers replied: "We have come to take you to Oahu 

 upon the request of your father, Kakuhihewa, that you may enter the land." The 

 chief consented to this and sailed for Oahu, taking with him his two wives, and his 

 foster fathers with their wife. Upon their arrival at Oahu they landed at Waikiki, where 

 Kakuhihewa was residing at the time. Kakuhihewa then gave the whole of Oahu over 

 to Kepakailiula. Kepakailiula then in turn made his foster fathers the joint kings of 

 Oahu, to have possession of everything on the land, under the land, and from the moun- 

 tains to the sea, reserving to himself and Kaknhihewa their rights ' as rulers. The 

 foster fathers thereupon became the joint kings [of Oahu]. 



After they had been in Waikiki for about four days they joined with the people 

 of the place in their daily pastime surf-riding. In this day's sport Makolea, the wife 

 of Kepakailiula also joined in with the bathers and went in surf-riding. Makolea up- 

 on joining the bathers took the surf breaking over that place known as Kalehuaawehe. 

 While she was enjoying her rides, Keaiimiki and Keaixka^ arrived from Kauai and took 

 Makolea away with them. 



The king of Kauai at this time was Kaikipaananea. He was noted for his great 

 strength in wrestling, both in the open way, catch-as-catch-can, and in the style where 

 thejf get down on all fours. No man at the time was found that could throw him. He 

 was also very skillful in giving and solving riddles; he was known to win on every 

 occasion. He was, however, without a wife. Keaumiki and Keauka were his guardi- 

 ans and immediate attendants. When Makolea arrived at Kauai, she became the wife 

 of Kaikipaananea the king. 



Upon the disappearance of Makolea the people were greatly excited and began 

 to think that she must have been killed by the surf and carried out to sea. Kepaka- 

 iliula, however, said: "No, she is not dead, she has been taken by Keaumiki and Keauka, 

 by the order of the king of Kanai, Kaikipaananea." He [Kepakailiula] remained with
